2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Accrete is building AI systems for high-stakes national security and enterprise use cases. As we pursue FedRAMP certification, strengthening our identity and access controls is a top priority.
We are seeking an Identity Engineer to design and implement a modern, least-privilege Identity and Access Management (IAM) program across our cloud infrastructure, internal tools, and development environments. This role will be hands-on and foundational—turning our IAM plan into reality and materially reducing identity compromise and insider threat risk.
You’ll work closely with our CISO, Principal Engineer, and Platform team to move us from broad, role-based access toward fine-grained, auditable, and policy-driven access controls aligned with federal security requirements.

Requirements

• 3–6+ years of experience in Identity & Access Management, Security Engineering, or Cloud Platform Engineering with deep IAM ownership
• Strong hands-on experience with IAM systems such as: AWS IAM, Azure AD / Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, Ping, or similar
• Experience designing and enforcing least-privilege access models at scale
• Familiarity with identity protocols and standards (SSO, SAML, OIDC, OAuth, MFA)
• Experience integrating IAM into CI/CD, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS ecosystems
• Comfort working in environments with compliance requirements (FedRAMP, SOC 2, NIST 800-53, etc.)
• Ability to work independently and drive implementation—not just design

Nice To Haves

• Direct experience supporting FedRAMP or other federal compliance programs
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi)
• Background in security monitoring, detection, or insider threat programs

• Implement and operationalize Accrete’s IAM strategy and roadmap, with a focus on least privilege and zero trust principles
• Design and deploy fine-grained access controls across: Cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure
• Developer environments and CI/CD pipelines

• Break down overly broad role-based access into scoped, auditable permissions
• Own identity lifecycle management (joiner/mover/leaver workflows)
• Integrate IAM with logging, monitoring, and security tooling to support audits and incident response
• Partner with engineering to embed IAM controls into infrastructure-as-code and deployment workflows
• Support FedRAMP readiness and compliance, including documentation, evidence collection, and control implementation
• Serve as a subject-matter expert on identity risk, access design, and secure authentication practices
